(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, June 24 (IANS) AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal on Monday said that the people have given a huge responsibility to the INDIA bloc for the protection of the constitution and the opposition is determined to fight for it.
“We have asked all our members to come with a copy of Consitutuoin because the BJP is trying to tinker with it. All their talks of 400 plus have fallen flat.
